I liked this book very much. The Beast Quest stories just keep getting better and better. I've read lots of them now but never get bored of them!

Adam Blade Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his fathers paintings of historic English battles  which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his fathers office. Adams father said they were a Blade family heirloom. Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!
